Car Shipping Key Tips:

Ensure your car complies with New Zealand Standards (and is allowed on New Zealand roads) by getting it checked before you ship it.

Ensure your car has less than a quarter of fuel in tank (it won’t be shipped with more).

Ensure that you thoroughly clean inside and out, paying particular attention to the underside and engine bay and boot.
MAF will be looking for mud underneath and leaves trapped in the grills.

Advise if there is inner cargo (e.g. golf clubs, suitcase of clothes)

If your car is going over the equator, put moisture absorbers (like Damp Rid) in the pockets of the driver and passenger seat.

Lower cars (to avoid the bottom scraping out) need to have:
a. Special car transporters i.e. flat bed trucks.
b. Special ramps to get it in and out of the container.
i. We can provide these things as part of our service.

We recommend you consider marine insurance.
a. Remember to take close up photos of every side of your car – internal and external.
b. Our A Clause Cover provides coverage from pickup at origin to delivery at destination.

Testimonials

Hey Joe,
Just wanted to thank you for your help in bringing over my second whim, which is rather more practical than the last.
Unfortunately on the way back from picking it up from Auckland I got yet another speeding ticket which takes my demerit points to over 100 so I won't be driving it for a while, 'who's a silly boy I hear" yeah and don't I know it!
Anyway thanks again I'm looking forward to the next one.
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Brent,
Just would like to thank you very much for all your help. I picked my car up on Tuesday afternoon from the depot (it was held up a bit due to if failing the quarantine inspection). Very happy to tell you it is damage free. I will recommend your company to anyone that needs to import a car from NZ.
Kind regards,
Mark
